BABY HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.


OurIittle son will be four. years of age on
the 25th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked
with a very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called In a physician who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received lit
tie or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician TO be
hives in an aggravated form, became larger
IN blotches, and more and more distressing
We we're frequently obliged to get up In the
night and rub him with soda in water, strong
liniments, etc. Finally, we called other ply
sicians until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the 10th of last July, when we began to give
him CUTICURA RESOLVENT internally, and the
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally, and
by the last August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the ResOlvent
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible maady. In all we used less
than one half of bottle of Cuticura Resolv-
ent, a little less than one box of Cuticura, and
only one cake of Cuticura Soap.

AN enquiry of the American minister
OF commerce into the effect OF American
competition upon the orange and lemon
crop OF Italy, elicits the fact that Cali
fornia can supply the entire orange de-
mand OF the United States. The CON-
mission does not regard Florida oranges
as likely to maintain their ground, and
thinks that Louisiana oranges will cut
no figure.
The latest prohibition dodge Is that
played In Tennessee. 1t comes In the
shape OF card printed and scattered
broadcast over the state, signed by 4O2
convicts from the penitentiary, asking
the citizens to vote the dry ticket, as
wbiskey was the cause OF their incar-
ceratiOn.
SAN ANTONIO has contributed her
share to the glory and success Of every
interstate drill held from Washington
westward. 1t Is high time that when
she enters the lists again, she does so on
her own drill ground. She has earned
the right to hold drill and com
mand the attendance OF rival military
companies the country over. Such a
drill would be good thing for all con-
cerned, and would greatly benefit the
city, by attracting thousands OF stran-
gers to our locality.

A Word About Catarrh,

full semi-huid envelope surrounding the deli
cate tissues of the air and food passages, that
CatarTh makes its stronghold. Once estaD-
Eshed, 1t eats into the very vitals, and renders
life but a long-drawn breath of misery and
disease, dulling the sense of hearing, tram
melting the power of speech, destroying the
faculty of smell, tainting the breath, and kill
ing the refined pleasures of taste. Insidious-
ly, by creeping on from a simple cold in the
head IL assaults the membranous lining and
envelops the bones, eating through the deli
cate coats and causing Inflammation, slough
ing and death. Nothing short OF total eradi-
cation will secure health TO the patient, and
all alternatives are simply procrastinated suf.

bered, counting every republican vote as
an anti-prohibition vote. The prohlbi-
ton papers themselves acknowledge q
colored prohibition vote OF 10 per cent In
southern Texas and Of 70 per cent In
northern Texas. The white republican
vote would count for something, and
every ten votes added to the prohibition
total on this account would only re-
move the Christian statistician's figures
farther and farther from the truth.
